Dr Ambedkar, father of modern democratic India:

He said while Buddha is the symbol of knowledge, he left the kingdom, gained knowledge and spread the message of social and religious values among the people. Ambedkar also tread the path shown by Goutham Buddha, ensured equality for all, created awareness among people and helped to maintain equality, unity and democracy in the country. A father of modern India’s democracy, Ambedkar wrote the Constitution for which he must be remembered by everyone.

“My wish was to bring social justice to reality’

He said many suggested not to disturb the hornet’s nest called reservation but he did not care. According to him, a person who has no human values must not run the State. The duty of the government is to ensure reservation in accordance with the population of every caste.

“You must not forget three principles taught by Dr Ambedkar, Education, Unity and agitation. Education is very important to enjoy your rights. Democracy will get its due importance if there is strength in organisation. The constitution has allowed agitation for any lawful right. Some people are trying to create confusion over the historic decisions taken by the government. We are working as per the Constitution. The government is committed to providing all basic amenities to Kanshiram Nagar”, Bommai said.

Social Welfare Minister Kota Srinivasa Pujari, Water Resources Minister Govind Karjol and others were present.
